Hi guys,
I'm a new user on this forum! I needed to join this community because I'm seeking a solution to my problem; today I built my first PC

PC Specs in case you need them to help me:
CPU: Ryzen 3400g
GPU: Radeon Vega 11
Motherboard: Asus TUF B450-Pro
RAM: 2x8gb HyperX Fury (Kingston) DDR4 2133mhz
SSD: WD Blue m2 250gb
Power supply: Cooler Master MWE 600w
Every single component of this build is new apart from the RAM, which is a second-hand-gift by a friend of mine who has never had problems with it.

It all went very well until I had to try and turn it on: all the rgb lights (motherboard, case) turned on and the cpu fan started working. No beep sound, no output signal to the monitor and also both the power supply's and the case's fans didn't start working. I firstly thought my ram was the only reason of the problem since it ain't new, so I tried to use only one of them (tried both) in the right position following the user guide of the motherboard of course and nothing actually changed. Same problems. Then I tried to put no ram at all and then I had the first beep(s), meaning that the motherboard acknowledged something was wrong, but still no output signal.
What do you think the problem may be? Is it the RAM? Am I doing something wrong? I'm always open to any point of information. Thanks in advance!

From what I'm hearing, I'd be leaning towards the motherboard being the problem tbh. However, it could be RAM if both DIMMs are borked- but you said you're friend was using them with no issues, so that seems unlikely to me.

What I would do, is try one RAM stick in one DIMM slot, and then a different DIMM slot. Then, repeat with the other stick of RAM. If you can't post regardless of what RAM stick you're using, or which DIMM it's/they're in, then I'd probably just buy the cheapest stick of DDR4 you can find to test whether or not it is actually the RAM that's the issue.

If you get new RAM, and that still doesn't work, RMA the motherboard.

I'm an idiot. Just realised you have a 3400g. You'll probably just need to update your motherboard's BIOS. I'm pretty sure the TUF B450 boards don't have any form of BIOS flashback, so you'll need an older generation AM4 CPU to update your BIOS. If you have any local PC stores, they'd probably be able to update BIOS for you for a small fee.
